I have this, weird idea, of how things are playing out/played out. Last summer, FAANG, went down. Small caps as well (somewhere in between, if im wrong, correct me) Now look at CNC, IRBT etc, lost 50% ~70% of their valuations since 2018 correction. So, does a ,,market crash", has to be - everything at the same time scenario? Or can it be, a slow process, of 1 - 2 years transition, sort of invisible for the public eye, yet boosted with a lot of fear from media and big players, that it's only ,,everything at once" - scenario possible. Fisher said, ,,It's not going to be a fall from the cliff like the last time, but soft jorney downhill" Any thoughts ?
I don’t know if those individual assets are indicators of a crash. However I think there’s merit in your theory about markets “crashing” over time. If markets follow the economic cycle then it will have peaks and troughs following the economy. Economies don’t crash overnight. also I recall from my Econ classes eons ago that small caps tend to fall before large cap stocks indicating a market decline.
%% Good points richD; but i prefer a limit order. And when the Market never pulls back that much= help the market makers/specialists any way i can with a market order, usually before noon.LOL,. Small caps went doWn so much, they are buying IWM, but not me; not today anyWay
